Story

Ride With a Veteran is RBLI's annual bike ride, cycling 150 miles over two days from Aylesford to Ypres.

The route takes us through the Kent countryside to Dover. Day two we continue our journey by Ferry to Calais, cycle through France and disembark in Dunkirk before riding to Ypres, via the German Cemetery at Langemark and the Allied Cemetery at Tyne Cot.

The RBLI are the leading provider of employability services to the disabled and disadvantaged in the Armed Forces community. They provide vital employment support, advice and homes to those struggling on civvy street.

The RBLI have a 83% success rate in supporting ex-forces personnel. We believe none of our Armed forces personnel should struggle when leaving the forces and deserve all the help they need for the sacrifice they've made for us.

Every like, share and donation helps towards getting our veterans back on their feet after leaving the forces.

This is my first ever charity bike ride event and with your help I would like to make it the first memorable success.
